I'm interested in how innocence fares when it collides with hard reality.
There are few films where you have women really driving the plot.
You only get one world premiere of your directorial debut.
It's always healthy to be taken down a notch, even though it's humbling.
I was always writing scripts, and I had made several shorts, before and after film school. But I worked a variety of temp positions over the years.
It may take hundreds of pages before you begin to get a handle on the craft of writing, and your first scripts may not work. The next five to twenty may not either. However, the ones that do work owe everything to the ones that didn't.
